What is the history like in St. Pete?

The city of St. Petersburg was founded in the 16th century by Spanish explorers in search of gold and the Fountain of Youth. Today, that very influence is still enriched throughout the St Petersburg area, making it the fourth largest city in the state of Florida. Engulfed in hexagon sidewalks and Spanish style architecture, history still remains the essence of the St. Pete area. Haunted hotels from the 1900s to the Home Shopping Network, parks, beaches, and the Rays Stadium at Tropicana field are only a few attractions that gravitate tourist to the St. Petersburg area worldwide. St Petersburg is known for its historical museums and schools, making art and music an essential focus of its culture. No matter what hobby, profession, interest or age, St. Petersburg is sure to accommodate to your every need.
